What is the link between automotive industry and armour? we don't have much of an automotive industry but we do have very very long history of shipbuilding, would that not count for anything?

Actually there is a lot, many Countries depends their armored vehicle manufacturing process toward their local automotive industries. Much complex automotive industries they had the more little chance their dependencies toward foreign supplier. Take Korean examples, they being known to have matured ground forces defense industry manufacturer like Daewoo, Doosan and Hyundai Rotem all of them had civillian automotive industries to backing their expertise in vehicle manufacturing. Like their Blackfox 6X6/8X8 APC most parts is sourced from their local automotive supplier starting from transmision, gear box, Engine, chasis, shield window, carburator etc. The more highly advance automotive industry your country had will led you toward Automotive culture and in turn will led your country toward the abundance of human resources who is able and knowing enough about their stuff like repairing vehicles and made them working all the times with little training and introduction efforts.

Just Another example, my Country PT PINDAD just starting to manufacturing armored vehicle just in decade or so and we had smooth progress in this field thanks to the abundance of human resources in this field we had. PT PINDAD also outsourcing many components the vehicles they made toward Privates companies to made speedy their production rates and safe the effort to assembly process. Well actually we are starting to progressing toward much more complex vehicle than the usual APC and tactical vehicle. We are starting to made tanks and IFV, indigenously with some foreign help at the start.

Whats AA Gun in posession
 
So altogether only 60 ready to fire missiles. Not enough for an army as large as the BD one but at least it is a start.
BAF has it's own FM-90 batteries.
1 battery of LY-80E will arrive in April 2018 and that will provide medium range(40-50km) cover at last.
that is for Airforce. It will have 40km range. Army will buy 70km (HQ-16B) version as well as FM3000

FM-3000 SAM has up to 30km range and is considered short-to-medium range and so does not make much sense to buy anymore of the 15km range FM-90B

FM-90B might be handed over to Airforce as Airforce already operates 2 batteries.
FM3000 was not in offer list by China until recently
